Top quality authentic Japanese cuisine. For example, the age dashi tofu had a proper coating and sat in the sauste with grated daikon on top. Yummy!
Great sushi spot nestled in a nice little corner of uptown. My favorite thing to get each time I go is definitely the tempura ice cream, which is essentially a giant deep-fried ball of goodness (and the tempura tastes like cake!). There’s a bean in the center of the ice cream which can be an off-putting surprise the first time you try it, but I’ve come to appreciate finding it.
Delicious food and really affordable price! I live the atmosphere there is a bar area of wanted and a area to sit.We had gyoza, a Phyllis X roll, udon and chicken dish. They were all good and good size portions. I LOVED the gyoza and the Phyllis x roll. Seasoning just right.Parking is easy, there is a parking ramp just right by it, but I was able to park on the street easily during the week for dinner.I highly recommend this Japanese place. I hope to comeback soon and get more dishes.
We frequent Origami on a regular basis and usually the service is amazing. The food is always amazing as it was tonight!!! However, tonight our service was bad at best. Our server was Danielle. She didn’t remove dirty plates in timely manner. She didn’t take menus after we placed our order. They stayed on the table the entire meal. Our empty wine glasses were never removed after ordering new wine. Keep in mind the food was amazing just very very poor service.
Consistent quality, delicious rolls, fresh fish, and friendly staff. I always love getting the takoyaki and unagi. Some of my favorite rolls are the dragon, Philly X, spider, TNT, and rainbow. I've been coming here for years and have never received poor quality fish. The nigiri and sashimi are also a must try.
I'm so happy that origami is still around! It's been years since we've been there and I'm so happy we remembered to go back! The fish was super fresh and cold, the rolls had great flavors, the potstickers were phenomenal, and I feel like the staff is above and beyond! I'm just happy thinking about how wonderful our date night was!
My fiancé and I visited Origami in Uptown last night for my birthday. It used to be a fairly regular occasion for us at the original Downtown location, but we actually hadn’t been down here since they (sadly) closed in 2015. I just have to say that Origami never disappoints us, and I don’t know why we waited so long to try this location. I had forgotten that truly fresh hamachi nigiri literally melts when it leaves your chopsticks, and maki rolls that are made by an artist explode with flavor in your mouth. Everything we had was delicious; from gyoza, seaweed salad and ahi poke, to an assortment of maki and nigiri, and finally some mochi and green tea ice cream. Plus, the ambiance was lovely and the service was very attentive. I really couldn’t have asked for a better re-introduction to my favorite restaurant! Thank you for a wonderful birthday and I plan to be back in a few weeks with my brother!
Our waiter was phenomenal! The food was perfect and we ended up ordering seconds ?
